MEDIA RELEASE: Joy! Family Event – Sunday, December 2

Joy! will be a fun family afternoon at the Searocks Dome in Maxwell next to the Barbados Beach Club featuring face painting, music, a photo booth, drum circle, Animekon booth, Read for LIfe and more, ending with a Sunset Concert hosted by Cici and featuring the Ascending Stars, John Yarde, Faith Callender, Alix Cage and more!

In this season of giving, leading up to the Joy! event, in a campaign to encourage young children to have empathy, to be generous and to help others, there was a Joy To Your World Essay Competition where they were asked: “How are you bringing Joy to your World? How are you helping your family, neighbour, community? How can we all make Barbados better?” All of the children will be recognized prior to the performances and the three top winners will receive special recognition. Prizes include Scotiabank accounts, Atlantis Family Submarine trip, Free Eye Exam from Eye Q Stylist Opticians, a children’s book authored by Lady Roberta Simpson, a Chefette party and more! There will also be additional giveaways donated by Discovery Kids, Yello, Animekon, Wibisco, and the American Embassy Bridgetown

Last year’s top essay contest winner, Aijah Robinson, was featured on the cover of the latest issue of Parenting Magazine and is expected to be in attendance to cheer on this year’s winner.

The event starts at 3pm with admission for Adults $20, 16 and under $10 and Children 10 and under FREE!

Patrons are also asked to bring non-perishable food items and unwrapped gifts for needy families which will be given to the Variety Club.
